APPLICATION FILED FEB. 14. 1913.

Patented 0011.6!1914.

#01 M %W ATTORNEY WNESSES 6216M W j To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, HERMAN a citizen of the United States,residing at Ureswell, in the county of Lane and State of ()regon, have invented a new and useful Improvement on Transmission Mechanism,

of which the followingis a specification. l 'llns lnvention relates tocertaln new and useful improvements in transmlsslon mechanism, and the primary object thereof is to provide novel, improved and simplified means for enabling the speed ofua driven shaft to be varied during movement of the compact structure in WhlCh the who arranged in asmall case. m

The figure, 1n the drawings, is a hor1zonparts. a a

Further the inventlon alms toprovide a parts can ital sectional view of a caseshowing the inventlon 1n top plan vlew.

A case y, having square or rectangular lines has bearings (Z and d in which a drive a shaft b is journaled, the oujterend of the shaft Z) extending through one end of the case and carrying a drive wheel a, while the inner end of the shaft Z) hasia bevel ear 0 rigid thereon. A shaft g which is diagonally related to the shaft 6 has one end journaled in a bearing 2' on one side of the case and has its other endjournaled in a hearing it, and oarriesa diske onits inner end. A circular series of teeth f on one face many desired manner.

of the disk e mesh with the gear 0, while the opposite face of the disk e has three circular series of teeth 9', k, Z thereon. A diagw onal shaft 0 which is parallel to the disk 6, 1s ournaled in a bearlng you one end of the case,and in a bearlng p adjacent the center a of the ease, and has a gear n slidable thereon, but keyed thereto, the gear at being slid along the shaft 0 by the usual forked element (not shown) that maybe actuated in Shaft ohas a miter a gear 0 rigid on its inner end, which gear 1' meshes with a like gear 8 on-the inner end of a shaft 75. The shaft t islparallel with shaft f and is journaled in ajbearingyw on i Copies of this 'patent may beiobtained for Specification of Letters Patent.

When the gear n is moved to neutralposition, indicated at m the gear a, shaft 0, and a shaft remain quiescent, and when the gear n is movedto the dotted line position indicated at n, the gear 12) will be given reverse V a movement. A shipper rod 8 is connected to gear at to shift same along the length of shaft 0. a i

What is claimed is:

In a transmission mechanism, a a casing a having a driving and driven shaft associated therewith, sald shafts being disposed 1n direct allnement, and having their opposing ends spaced apart, a bevel gear fixed to the inner end of the driving shaft, a miter gear fixed to the inner end of the driven shaft, a disk disposed in the space between the opposing ends of said shafts and in acute angular relation to the axes thereof, a ring of teeth on one face of said disk engaged a with the bevel gear of the driving shaft, a plurality of concentric rings of teeth carried by the opposite face of the disk, a shaft arranged parallel with the disk, means carried by the last named shaft for engaging one ring of teeth of said plurality of ringsof teeth at a time, and means carried by the p a last named shaft and engaged with the miter r; gear of the driven shaft to lmpartmove ment to the driven shaft upon rotation of the disk.
